A Bridge Life: Finding Our Way Home (USA, 69 min)

Directed by Josh Grossberg

‘A Bridge Life: Finding Our Way Home’ follows Dan Sheffer, a middle class Florida loan officer who travels to Houston’s Astrodome to aid thousands of survivors of Hurricane Katrina who were transferred there immediately after New Orleans’ levees failed and a disastrous flood engulfed the city, forcing residents to flee for their lives. His goal: transport 10 evacuees to Plantation, Florida and help them get back on their feet by providing aid, shelter, and temporary jobs, in short, ‘a bridge life.’ Through the prism of one tragedy and six success stories, ‘A Bridge Life’ tells the tale of Dan’s Good Samaritan mission and how his band of survivors made a new life for themselves in the months after the catastrophe.
